Fulton's Crab House to Become Paddlefish in the Fall:


When Fulton's Crab House re-opens after its 6-month renovation in the fall it will be totally new restaurant under the new name, Paddlefish. The new update will include new interiors that will reflect the crisp luxury of modern yachting. A rooftop lounge will also be added that will overlook Disney springs plus an outdoor waterfront bar with a "build your own" fish boil along with private dining area.

The menu will also get a refresh that will include fresh seafood with an oyster shucking bar, Florida stone crab and Alaskan king crab, hearty steaks and chops, and classic and curated cocktails. The working paddle-wheel will also make its return to Paddlefish on the back of what was once the Empress Lilly.
